Sundays
Join us as we worship God together, you would be very welcome.
We hold two Sunday morning services which have a blend of Bible teaching, prayer and contemporary worship. We need two services because our church building is not large enough to accommodate everyone in a single service. Our children’s groups run during the second service. The services have the same informal style and, except for the monthly Family Communion, have the same talk.
The 9am service is Holy Communion and lasts a little over an hour. It is also live streamed on our YouTube channel. After the service our prayer team is available to pray with anyone who would like it.
Between the services, refreshments are available and this is a great chance for people to meet and chat.
At the 10.45 service the children and young people join in for the first part and then go to their own groups. The last Sunday of the month is different - with a Cafe Church running where everyone is welcome.
We also meet to pray at 6pm on alternate Sundays. The main aim is to underpin the church ministry with prayer, and these are times of listening to God as much as putting our requests to Him.

Sunday Themes and Readings
AUGUST
30th Proverbs 9 (from ch8-9)
Corrective Wisdom
Wisdom and folly are like two opposing houses. One brings insight. The other might look attractive but brings death. The wise will welcome correction,
the fool will stumble and fall.
SEPTEMBER
6th Proverbs 11 v1-7, 24-28
Generous prosperity
The Grace of God guides the Christian attitude towards
money and how it should contrast with worldly attitudes.
13th Romans 12 v1-8
Transformed Lives:
Living as a Sacrificial offering
God’s mercy from Romans leads to a huge ‘therefore’: so be transformed in mind and serve humbly, using the gifts the Lord
has given us.
20th Romans 12 v9-21
Transformed Relationships:
One Body Living
Living in the mercy of Christ is radical, challenging and upside down from the world, blessing enemies, serving others sharing in joy and sorrow and overcoming evil with good.
27th Deuteronomy 8 v7-14,
John 7 v37-44
Harvest Thankfulness
Being thankful for the blessings we have from the Lord in this world but remember that it is the Lord God who rescues and provides. Be
thankful, most significantly for the living water we receive from the Holy Spirit of Christ
OCTOBER
4th Romans 13 v1-7
Transformed Citizenship:
Living under Authority
We submit to Christ because of his mercy but where and how do secular authorities fit in?
Why should we obey them and when should we, and what happens, if we say no?
11th Romans 13 v8-14
Transformed Love:
Clothed in Love
Christian love fulfils the law as it lives for others, not the self. It is clothed in Christ and it turns from evil, rejecting its temptations.
18th Romans 14
Transformed Community:
True Strength brings Peace
Disputable issues can divide Christ’s people and bring much harm, whereas true freedom is expressed by grace and mercy and reveals the true strength in sacrificial living.
25th Romans 15 v1-13
Transformed Strength:
True Strength brings Glory
Living sacrificially is costly but we are not alone in that life. It builds people up, gives hope, joy peace and brings glory to God in the
power of the Holy Spirit.
NOVEMBER
1st Romans 15 v14-33
Transformed for Mission:
It’s all about Christ
Christians need reminding of God’s truth in the gospel all the time. Partnering with Paul in his mission, our hearts should be set on
proclaiming and living for Christ.
8th Romans 16 v1-16
Transformed Fellowship:
True Christian Welcome.
Paul commends many good and faithful servants of Christ. He calls the church to welcome and love all His holy people who are examples to us as Paul longs to see a church
full of servants working together for the gospel.
15th Romans 16 v17-27
Transformed Faithfulness:
Established in Christ.
Christ’s followers must stand firm against divisive people who would distort the gospel and lead them astray. Instead come to the gospel obediently through faith to glorify God who will ultimately crush evil.
